Judging from the photos that have surfaced so far, it looks like the intrepid duo spent some time in exquisite pieces of engineering like the JAC Binyue and the Greatwall Haval M2, while also taking a look at some of the country's vehicles that infringe on the copyrights of pay tribute to cars manufactured around the globe. That meant taking a gander at hardware like the Smart ForTwo-inspired Shuanghuan Noble, the BMW X5-flavored Shuanghuan SCO and the Mini Cooper-themed Lifan 320.

The episode is likely to surface next season, and we're betting it will feature plenty of insightful commentary from all three of the hosts. If this seems like the setup for yet another international incident, you'd be right. But isn't that why we keep watching? Head over to Car News China for a look at the full gaggle of photos.

I agree, but it's easy to be rude towards any entity you're afraid of. The truth is that China is on a large and fast learning curve, and it's scaring a good many people, hence the rudeness. While they have a history of unashamedly copying other well-known designs, a growing number of their creations in recent years are attractive, unique designs. The Hafei Lobo from 2007, and more recent Geely Panda, BYD e6, and Roewe 350 are all good examples.
